I am wondering if any of you work full time with graphic design and use the MacBook Air 2012 with 8GB ram as your main machine.
Will it be enough (with the 27-inch Thunderbolt display) for intensive Photoshop and Illustrator work - and handling large files?
I have been thinking about replacing my old MacBook Pro 2010 with the 2.0GHz i7 MacBook Air from 2012. But I want to be sure that I can do my everyday work as a Digital Design/Art Director on this machine? I mainly use Photoshop and Illustrator at the same time - along with a 5-8 tabs in the browser - and spotify playing. Only once in a while I will be using Flash, Final Cut Pro and After Effects.
Is the MacBook Air 2012 enough for this kind of work? I don't play any games apart from simple browser games and maybe some Football Manager and Counter Strike.
